Abstract Religious prejudice adorns socio-religious problems in Indonesia, including on public university campuses. Some student activists of Islam are aggressive in voicing minority groups (non-Muslim, Shi'a, and Ahmadiyya) as infidels. Their defenders of Muslim clerics and scholars became targets of bullying. The accusations of the Jewish and Shi'a agents were so easy for them to pronounce. Their negative prejudices, Christian/Hindu, are pagan because they have three Gods. Shi'a is the agent of the Jews. Shi'a, the cult of Ali, glorifies the Imams more than the Prophet and disbelieves in the Prophet's companions. Ahmadiyya is non Muslim. Yet, their accusations have no basis. The research aims to eliminate religious prejudice against students in teaching Islamic religious education (PAI) through a pluralism-Qur’ani— quasi-experimental approach. The research instrument is an inventory of 30 items of religious discrimination. The research respondents were 200 students: 100 were in the intervention class, and 100 were in the non-intervention class—data analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The research on the pluralism-Qur’ani approach proved effective in eliminating student religious prejudice. Before college, half of the students had negative prejudices against minority religions/madhhab. However, after the lecture, their negative bias disappeared. They say that among non-Muslims, some believe and deserve to go to Heaven. Shi'a is the same as Sunni, and the same is Muslim. Ahmadiyya is still a Muslim. They also say that religious minorities have the right to develop their beliefs in Indonesia. The implication is that the Qur’an-based spiritual pluralism approach must be implemented in university PAI lectures.
